LUBRICATION OF IMPELLER SHAFT BEARINGS:
Regreaseable bearings will require periodic lubrication and can
be accomplished by using the zerk or lubrication fittings in the
cartridge cap and power frame. Lubricate the bearings at regular
intervals using a grease of high quality. Mixing of different
brands of grease should be avoided due to possible chemical
reactions between the brands which could damage the bearings.
Accordingly, avoid grease of vegetable or animal base which
can develop acids, as well as grease containing rosin, graphite,
talc and other impurities. Under no circumstances should used
grease be reused.
Overlubrication should be avoided as it may result in
overheating and possible bearing failure. Under normal
application, adequate lubrication is assured if the amount of
grease is maintained at 1/3 to 1/2 the capacity of the bearing
and space surrounding it.
In dry locations, each bearing will need lubrication at least
every 4,000 hours of running time or every 6 to 12 months,
whichever is more frequent. In wet locations (exposed to
dripping water, to the weather, or to heavy condensation such
as is found in unheated and poorly ventilated underground
locations) the bearings should be lubricated at least after every
2,000 hours of running time or every 4 to 6 months, whichever
is more frequent.
Use Chevron SRI, NLGI2.
Lubricate motor per motor manufacturer’s instructions.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Keep this pump and motor properly lubricated.
2. Inspect the pump regularly for leaky seals of gaskets
and loose or damaged components. Replace or repair
as required.
ELECTRICAL WIRING. Normally, your pump will be
supplied with an attached drive motor. The motor should be
wired in accordance with the wiring diagram found on the
motor nameplate. Be sure the voltage, frequency, and phase of
your power supply corresponds with the nameplate data. It is
advisable to provide a separate switch and overload protection
for your pump motor to protect against power failure in some
other area. Conversely, if the pump motor develops electrical
problems, it will be isolated from other equipment.
PRESTARTING INSTRUCTION. The coupling halves
should be connected. Prior to connection, however, the drive
motor should be started to make sure the direction of rotation
is the same as the direction indicated by the arrow on the
pump casing.
When the pump is used in conjunction with electric motors
and controls, these components must be in accordance with
EN 60529 IP 22. Electrical equipment applied is to conform
to the requirements of EN 50081 parts I or 2, and to EN
50082 parts 1 or 2, and the relevant parts of EN 6100 with
regard to electromagnetic compatibility. Protection of the
electrical assembly against electrostatic phenomena shall be
per paragraph 5.2.2.2 of EN 809. General compliance of the
electrical assembly shall be per EN 60204-1. The installer shall
ensure that any displays and control actuators are designed and
installed in accordance with EN 894. The nature of the pumped
liquid precludes the need for an emergency stop device; the
pump can be shut down by normal means. Any electrical
equipment shall be properly earthed.
Overall assembly shall be shown to comply with 98/37/EC
Annex 1 paragraph 1.7.4 (f) by the final assembler with respect
to noise and vibration.
Installation must comply with the Machinery Directive 98/37/
EC as well as any other applicable national regulations in the
member state of the installation. The final installation must not
be put into service until it has been declared in conformity with
the provisions of the Machinery Directive.
PUMP DISASSEMBLY: For frame mounted pumps, model
384.
Any disassembly/assembly procedures performed will
require testing per NFPA 20 Table 14.5.2.3 after
re-assembly has been completed prior to the pump being
returned to service.
Read and understand all safety warnings at the beginning
of the manual before beginning installation or any
repair work.
1. Ensure the electrical power is locked out, the system
pressure has been lowered to 0 psi and temperature of the
unit is at a safe level before beginning any disassembly of
the pump.
2. Isolate the pump from the system by closing the valves that
should be located on both the suction and discharge of the
pump. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the casing and
drain the pump. The flush line assembly (optional 1, 3, 2
and 75) should be removed at this time.
Inspect removed parts at disassembly to determine if they can
be reused. Ball bearings that turn roughly or show wear should
be replaced. Cracked castings should never be reused. Scored
or worn pump shafts should be replaced. Gaskets should be
replaced at reassembly simply as a matter of economy. They are
much less expensive to replace routinely than to replace singly
as the need arises.

Warning: Sudden Start-Up Hazard
Disconnect and lock out power source before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury, death or property damage.
Warning: Hot Surface Hazard
If pumping hot water, ensure guards or proper insulation is
installed to protect against skin contact with hot piping or
pump components. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury, death or property damage.
